Detention, Saturday, February 24

As the students entered the Danger Shop, they noticed that they were on a rooftop with The Tick standing at the edge of the roof overlooking the cityscape. He held a clipboard in one hand.

When everyone had shown up, he turned around and smiled. "Good morning, detentioned students! I am The Tick and I shall be your detention instructor today! Today I'll be showing you the ins and outs of Wrong. You see this city? It's based on The City, my Home Away From Fandom! The City is known for many things. Good diners. Science that is both mad and beneficial. And the never-ending struggle between good and evil, all dressed up in tights! Since you're here, it's assumed that you may be branching out to the evil side of that struggle, so I'm going to show you first-hand that crime doesn't pay!"

"You'll be undergoing a series of simulations as the villain. When you try to do your dastardly deeds, a random hero of The City will come out to thwart you! Don't take these thwartings personally, though. It's our job. The superhero is the Telemarketer of Justice and villains are sitting at home, not expecting to be bothered, but bothered they are because their home is a robot that's destroying a bank and then a call comes asking if you'd like to order some law! And the villain says no, but after some stuggle he's convinced to do so! The only difference here is that instead of better rates on their phone bill or weekdays AND Sundays for newspaper delivery, they just purchased a stay in prison."

"There are some costumes in a box there if you really want to get into the whole theme, but they're optional and completely school appropriate."

[OOC: Sorry for getting it up a little later than intended. Writer's block followed by icon making = slight delay. I'll be around all day. Playing 17 NPCs. *sighs at self*

Information on the heroes can be found here and a videoclip with some of them is here!

For the record, I know there are people who will be signing in late in the day. I am totally cool with that. I never want to stop playing this detention until my brain explodes, so I'm good to play it out however long it takes. :D]

Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The scene shifted a few miles outside of The City to a building. The sign read "THE COMET CLUB." Off to the side of the building was a small shack with a sign reading "Sidekick's Lounge." There was also a parking lot filled with various supervehicles.

"Here we are at The Comet Club, the nightclub for superheroes! There are a bunch of heroes in there that you would surely be defeated by if you managed to get in, but we're not going to worry about that. Your goal is just to try to get inside. But be warned, the door is guarded by Doorman, that guy hovering right by the door. He flys, is super strong, and can sense when people who aren't heroes enter the club. Oh, and eye lasers! Those are keen! Anyway, you have to get past him somehow. Defeat him in battle, distract him and run inside, whatever you think will work!"

[OOC: You'll probably fail this task unless you get really clever. Try anyway! The environment is completely moddable, from the Sidekick's Lounge to the cars in the lot, to the grass on the ground.]

Turtle ditched the cape and found herself a clipboard and a fake pair of glasses. She pushed them up her nose as she approached Doorman. "I'm with the city zoning board; we have reasons to believe that the structural compotants of this particular establishment might be subject to a lesser known law recently discovered from 1932. They've sent me over to come have a looksee."

Hey, it worked for fairy tales class well enough...

"I'm sorry but you'll have to come back during the day. This place is for heroes only during business hours," Doorman said.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

Turtle had been expecting such a maneuver. "I actually can't work during the day because I have a skin condition that doesn't allow me to be in the sunlight." She shoved the glasses back up her nose. "However, I'm the only one at the office qualified for this sort of task. I will be quick about it, and, of course, discreet. You'll barely notice I'm there."

Until I blow up the place. Mwa ha ha.

"And you can't train an underling to do it because there are no sidekicks allowed in the club," Doorman said. He looked at Turtle and did a scan with his herovision. He didn't trust her, but that was consistent with her being a government employee.

"Okay, you can enter. But no funny business."

Mel decided that if it worked for Wyatt it should work with this guy.

She walked up to the doorman with and exagerrated hip motion and leaned over to show off her cleavage.

"Hi," she said breathlessly.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Doorman said, looking Mel over. Of course, he was looking her over with his herovision, which was probably not what Mel was intending. "You're not a superhero. You can't go in."

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

Mel pouted. Cutely. "But I found of an army of vampires, destroyed a giant lizard and prevented the gates of hell from opening on earth. Doesn't that count?"

Katara tried to just walk past the Doorman.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Doorman hovered in front of Katara. "Heroes only."

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

She frowned. "I'm a hero. Who says I'm not?"

Super strong, Sokka noted, but the Tick didn't mention anything about super fast.

So, he ducked his head, bounced on his toes a few times, and charged at top speed, trying to get around Doorman, and preparing to dodge like mad.

Doorman hovered directly in front of the door and held onto the handle. "Heroes only."

Sam had tucked her shirt tightly into her pants, ruffled her hair, and sauntered up to the doorman.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Superheroes only," Doorman said.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"How do you define superhero?" Sam pouted.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

Kawalsky pulled his shirt off and strutted up to the front door. "Strip-o-gram."

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"Not interested," Doorman said.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Not for YOU." He looked at a piece of paper from out of his pocket, then shoved it back into his pocket. He pulled a random name he'd heard from people who had taken Tick's classes. "I'm here for American Maid."

Layla had a little more hope about succeeding at this activity, and approached the door looking as innocent as possible.

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Doorman scanned Layla with his herovision. "Yes?"

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

"I need to go inside," she said, pointing to the Comet Club's door. "I have friends who are waiting for me and I'm already running late from having to rescue a kitten from a tree on my way over here and I'm afraid they're going to get worried if I don't show up soon."

Will could only come up with one way to get in past The Doorman. She put a pained expression on her face, and shuffled uncomfortably up to the door.

"Um, excuse me?"

Re: Activity 4: Take the Fight to the Heroes!

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Doorman scanned Will quickly and asked, "Yes?"

She ran a hand through her hair, and tried to look as uncomfortable as she could. "This is kind of embarrassing, but .. do you have a bathroom in there? See, my period's just started and I need to take some Midol and, y'know deal with the other thing right away."

She looked at The Doorman in desperation. "Please?"
